Στην νομιμοποίηση της υποβοηθούμενης ευθανασίας προχωρά η πολιτεία της Βικτώριας αυτή την εβδομάδα. Από την ερχόμενη Τετάρτη ασθενείς που πάσχουν από ανίατες ασθένειες θα έχουν την επιλογή να δίνουν τέλος στην ζωή τους, με την βοήθεια εξειδικευμένων ιατρών.


Under the new Victorian laws, patients who meet 68 safeguards will be able to ask a doctor for access to the life ending drugs.

Victorian government expects the uptake for the lethal concoction to rise to between 100 and 150 annually.
